I always wait at least a month before I write a review, in this case- it blew down already. Only lasted a few weeks. I also bought a new picnic table and thought the two would mesh together. Nope umbrella top heavy and fell over with table. And umbrella broken. Will not replace. I already had a umbrella that came from India- very ornate. I don't like to expose it to the sun to much- so wanted a more everyday one. But forget it. I vote NO on this one.
